Here is my custom Future Tense Raphael. I started off with the NECA Raphael as a base, repainted the necessary parts and reattached them. I tried to be as accurate to the comic as possible. I detached both front and back shell pieces and repainted them entirely. Finally I took the original tube packaging the figure came in and created my own packaging. Using a photo of all four finished Future Tense Turtles I created new packaging similar to the original. The inside of the packaging that you can see behind the figure has the time slip generator from the original comic, as if Raphael is coming out of it. I did not time how long the process took, however I do know it took a week to make all four Future Tense Turtles. Hope you enjoy!
